This variety is a historic heirloom tomato. The seeds were shared with Baker Creek Seed by Diann Dirks, garden blogger and creator of The Garden Lady of Georgia. She wrote about the Abe Lincoln tomato the following “A man (in his 80’s?) and I got to talking while pumping gas and I told him I collected seeds. He said he grew the original Abe Lincoln tomato–not the ones that were later sold but from the 1923 seed catalog.” The seeds were released by H.W. Buckbees in 1923. This variety goes way back to the early 1900’s. It is believed to have been grown in the home of Abraham Lincoln in Illinois.The farmer responsible for saving and sharing the seeds named it after Abraham Lincoln because he thought it to be an honest and tasty tomato that had a long productive season.
